NEW stunning paperback edition of Jane Riordan’s sequel collection inspired by Milne’s classic stories, featuring Mark Burgess’ illustrations created in the style of E.H. Shepard's iconic art.

‘With a map in your hand, you know an adventure is about to begin …'

Celebrate the 100th anniversary with the paperback edition of the authorised sequel collection by Jane Riordan, inspired by Milne’s classic tales of everyone's favourite bear.

Join Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and their friends as they venture deeper into the Forest than ever before. From blackberry throwing at the Prickly Place to stargazing at the Great Bear Lookout, there’s a story waiting in every corner of the Hundred Acre Wood.

This collection introduces Carmen, a little dog with lots of courage. Carmen may be small but she is mighty and has a loud ROAR! She was inspired by the discovery that A.A. Milne had a little toy dog mascot named Carmen during WW1.

Jane’s writing is filled with gentle humour, friendship, and life lessons that echo A.A. Milne’s original stories. She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milne’s characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh, a true bastion of British literary heritage.

‘One morning, Winnie-the-Pooh woke up with a tingling feeling in his toes that told him Something Good was about to happen …’

This 100th Anniversary edition celebrates the Hundred Acre Wood with seven brand-new stories set after the timeless tales in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. They take us back to much-loved places introduced by Milne’s stories and Shepard’s map, like Eeyore’s Gloomy Place and the Poohsticks Bridge, as well as new settings where Pooh and his friends have adventures, including trips to the British Museum and the Tower of London.

These sequel stories will be cherished by both new and long-standing Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages. The book makes a perfect gift for special people in your life, regardless of their age.

Jane Riordan has a strong pedigree in writing in the style of A.A. Milne, having also created Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the Queen, Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the King, Tales from the Forest, Winter in the Wood, and Winnie-the-Pooh Easter Hunt.

The stories are adorned with beautiful illustrations by Mark Burgess in the style of E.H. Shepard. Mark is uniquely suited to this, having also illustrated Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, The Best Bear in All the World, Tales from the Forest, and Winter in the Wood.
